Why is it so easy for a woman to abuse rape and domestic violence laws? Granted, there are some real cases of rape, but there are also cases in which the law is abused. Women sometimes will have consentual sex with a man and then intentionally beat themselves up and cry rape. Sometimes the woman marries the man first so she can walk off with all of his money after she does so. Why is it that when a woman claims to have been abused by her husband a jury will almost always listen to her, yet when a man claims to be abused by his wife the jury barely ever listens to him?
Why is it that on TV shows if a man slaps a woman he is seen as a cruel and abusive man yet when a woman takes even farther extremes such as kicking a man out of his own home it is seen as comedy? Why is it that on TV shows it is much more common to show a man cheating on his wife than a woman cheating on her husband? Why is it that our culture provides such a bias towards the woman in cases involving marriage disputes?
Feminism in the 1920s was about equality, today it is about inequality and taking the money, dignity, freedom, and eventually life of every man.
thats wear you get a little "iffy". Becouse not all women do this, also the ones that do are sycho, and there are even men and kids that do this. But for the topic, they get away with it becouse there really is no substanctal evidance saying they faked it, if their was then most likly, givin the situation she would be charged. Also what you mention rarly happens.
What ever happened to "innocent until proven guilty." If there is very little evidence as to whether it was faked or whether it is real shouldn't the court side with the defendant?
Thats pretty much what I was saying. That becouse there is no substancial (wrong spelling, i know) evidance that it was faked, the court only has what evidence it has, and if it points towards a faked crime or a real incidense (also spelled wrong, plese excuse) then thats what they have base it on
As far as Tv Sitcoms go its becouse the Moral Majoraty belives it would teach young impreshionable kids that its ok and funny. Which gennerally is true. Also by law everyone goes to court no matter what the police think, thats beouse of the "innoocent untill proven guilty" law.
So it is okay and funny for a woman to abuse a man but it is not okay or funny for a man to abuse a woman? Is that what we want our children to think?
Funny...Yes...Right...No. Yet thats not what I'm saying. You have to relise(spelled wrong) that I'm 14 and am trying to explain a very complicated subject so i may not be as clear as I should be on things. I'm saying that the majority (spell check please) of the program veiwers would rather see a strong man get kicked out by a weaker female. This is for many reasons;
1.It's funny as hell to see a strong man get beat up by a weaker person, and since woman are often portraid as weak, it makes it funny. Also the impression that males are stronger than females makes it funny when a female beats a male. This is why I said TV is not a good refrence, espescally(i stopped careing about the spelling a while ago) sitcoms which are suposed to be in accurate and funny.
2. TV is based around the majoraty(i dont care) of its viewers. If the veiwers want to see a man jump off a building, a man will jump off a building in show.
3. As far as whats right and wrong, there is none. Only Just and Un-Just. Meaning what you think is right is right for you, and not based on what someone else thinks.
For example;
If 99.9% of America belived that showing hard core porn to kids to teach them about safe sex, then you would no longer have to be 18 years of age to rent porn or look it up online, and schools would start showing it during sex-ed classes. This is becouse America is worried about majoritys (really i did) and to make them happy becouse they have more power over that .1%. Its pretty much Democracy. Infact thats the key word for this topic, Democracy, that and Majority.
For example:
Every Tv Show has a the wife getting beat up, every wear you go a wife is "beat up". For loughs. But no one tells you its fake, and just for laoughs, (and im asking you to thinkg seriosly, not as though yor Mr. Right) wouldn't you think it was ok for you to beat up you your wife when you grow up?
What about when a show lets you see a man getting slapped, punched, and forced out of his own home onto the streets by his wife and it is seen as perfectly acceptable?
Same as above
As far as i can tell you on that its becouse they are trying to make it seem like she is being protective of her family. Also Women in sit comes usually are not those that are easily able to defend them selfs, so they kick the man out rather than the woman becouse they feel the audiance belives the man can handle himself.
If feminism is all about a woman "being able to take care of herself" isn't this contrary to the feminist agenda that they try to put forth?
Well you have to relise(dont care) thatthis isnt run by feminists.
Just a whole bunch of producers wanting money.
If you want feminist programming watch "WETV"
(That was a joke)
For shows showing men cheating on women, its mainly becouse, as far as i know, men cheat on women more then the other way around.
I'm not sure whether or not it is true, but even if it is true it is not true to nearly the extent that TV portrays it as.
Once again TV is not a good refrence(shut up) its all based around polls, ratings and what the veiwers want. If the veiwers want more women cheating on men then the show would do that.
BTW: Please use proper grammar and spelling. Your posts are getting hard to read.
I'll try
